We understand that.
You also raised the very valid point that there are provinces like British Columbia that have actually moved for bulk water export. If we rely on provincial legislation, I don't think we're doing our job as federal legislators. We're certainly not responding to the concerns that are out in the Canadian public. Granted, you did say you'd be screaming bloody murder if Mr. Tilson's scenario came true. I think a lot of us would. Please join the crowd. With what happened last spring with respect to environmental assessments, I think there are a lot of Canadians who are upset. However, the reality is we do have a loophole now that is quite present in this legislation. I think that's very clear from your testimony. I think there are some parts of your bill that work very effectively, but others do not. The railway car loophole is a real problem.
Now, if we rely on provincial legislation and if the provinces in some cases have actually been pushing toward bulk water exports, then the other concern—and Mr. Scarpaleggia touched on this—is the issue around NAFTA and how water as a good enters into the North American Free Trade Agreement, and the impacts there. That's something the international trade committee has already discussed. We've discussed it in Parliament as well. The NDP brought forward a motion saying there had to be concrete agreement to exclude bulk water from NAFTA. To date, that has not happened.
